Amadodana kaSawule ayengoJonathani , no-Ishivi, noMaliki Shuwa ; amagama amadodakazi akhe amabili yilawa : igama lenkulu lalinguMerabi , igama lencane lalinguMikhali.

Akwasilala muntu , omncane noma omkhulu , namadodana noma amadodakazi, nempango noma okunye ababezithathele khona ; uDavide wabuyisa konke.

Iyakuthatha amadodakazi enu abe ngabathaki , nabapheki, nabaphekizinkwa.

Wayenengubo enemibala , ngokuba amadodakazi enkosi ayeyizintombi ayegqoka izingubo ezinjalo . Leyo nceku yayisimkhiphela phandle , yahluthulela emnyango emva kwakhe.

Ningakusho eGati , ningakumemezeli ezitaladini zase -Ashikeloni, funa amadodakazi amaFilisti ajabule, namadodakazi abangasokile athokoze.

Kwaba yisimiso kwa -Israyeli ukuba amadodakazi akwa-Israyeli aye yonke iminyaka ukuyitusa indodakazi kaJefta wakwaGileyad i izinsuku ezine ngomnyaka.

Wayenamadodana angamashumi amathathu ; amadodakazi angamashumi amathathu wawendisa , wathathela amadodana akhe izintombi ezingamashumi amathathu. Wamahlulela u-Israyeli iminyaka eyisikhombisa.

Kepha asinakubanika nokho amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkabo , ngokuba abantwana bakwa -Israyeli babefungile bethi : M akaqalekiswe onika owakwaBenjamini umfazi.

nibone: bhekani, uma amadodakazi aseShilo ephuma ukusina lapho kusinwa khona , anophuma ezivinini , nizibambele, kube yilowo nalowo umkakhe kuwo amadodakazi aseShilo, niye ezweni lakwaBenjamini.

Siyakwenze njani ukuba abaseleyo babe nabafazi , lokhu sifungile uJehova ukuthi asiyikubanika amadodakazi ethu abe ngomkabo, na?

bathatha amadodakazi awo aba ngomkabo , banika amadodana awo amadodakazi abo, bakhonza onkulunkulu bawo. U-Otheniyeli

Amadodakazi amakhosi aphakathi kwabes ifazane bakho abadumileyo ; inkosikazi imi ngakwesokunene sakho, ihlobe igolide lase-Ofiri.

Mayijabule intaba yaseSiyoni , kwethabe amadodakazi akwaJuda ngenxa yezahlulelo zakho.

Iso lami lenza umphefumulo wami ube buhlung u ngenxa yawo onke amadodakazi omuzi wakithi.

Uma inkosi yaso isinika umfazi , yena esizalela amadodana noma amadodakazi, umfazi nabantwana bakhe bayakuba ngabenkosi yakhe , sona siphume sodwa.

Wathi kuwo amadodakazi akhe: Uphi yena? Nimshiyeleni na? Mbizeni, eze ukuzokudla.

uthathele amadodana akho amadodakazi abo , amadodakazi abo aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo , enze ukuba amadodana akho aye aphinge nawonkulunkulu babo.

Ngalokho ninganiki amadodana abo amadodakazi enu , futhi ningathatheli amadodana enu amadod akazi abo, ningafuni ukuthula kwabo nenhlalakahle yabo kuze kube phakade , ukuze nibe namandla , nidle okuhle kwezwe , nilishiye libe yifa labantwana benu kuze kube phakade.

Ngokuba bazithathele amadodakazi abo , bona namadodana abo, kuze kuthi inzalo engcwele isixubene nabantu bezizwe ; izandla zezikhulu nababusi yizona ebeziphambili kuleso siphambeko.

Kuyakuthi njengezinyoni ezizulazulayo , njengamaphuphu ahlakazekileyo , abe njalo amadodakazi akwaMowabi emazibukweni ase-Arinoni.

Wathi futhi uJehova: Ngenxa yokuba amadodakazi aseSiyoni eziphakamisa, ehamba elula izintamo , eqhikiza amehlo , ehamba ecokama ekuhambeni kwawo, ekhenceza ngezinyawo zawo,

Wayesephuma uLoti, wakhuluma nabakhwenyana bakhe ababeyakuthatha amadodakazi akhe , wathi: Sukani niphume kule ndawo , ngokuba uJehova uyakuchitha umuzi . Kepha wayenjengontelayo emehlweni abakhwenyana bakhe.

Kanjalo amadodakazi kaLoti omabili akhuleliswa nguyise.

Bheka, sengimi ngasemthonjeni wamanzi, amadodakazi abantu bomuzi eza ukukha amanzi.

URebeka wayeseth i ku -Isaka: Ngidiniwe ukuphila ngenxa yamadodakazi kaHeti; uma uJakobe ethatha umfazi kuwo amadodakazi kaHeti onjengalawa, kuwo amadodakazi aleli zwe, kuyakungisiza ngani ukuphila na?

U-Isaka wambiz a uJakobe , wambusisa, wamyala, wathi kuye : Awuyikuthatha umfazi kuwo amadodakazi aseKhanani.

Vuka uye ePhadani Aramu endlini kaBetuweli uyise kanyoko , uzithathele khona umfazi kuwo amadodakazi kaLabani unyokolume.

U-Esawu ebona ukuthi u -Isaka umbusisile uJakobe , wamthuma ePhadani Aramu ukuyothatha khona umfazi , nokuthi lapho embusisa wamyala wathi : Awuyikuthatha umfazi kuwo amadodakazi aseKhanani,

khona u -Esawu wabona ukuthi amadodakazi aseKhanani mabi emehlweni ka-Isaka uyise,

ULabani wathi kuJakobe : Wenzeni, lokhu unginyenyele , wathatha amadodakazi njengabathunjwa benkemba, na?

UJakobe waphendula , wathi kuLabani : Ngokuba ngesaba ngithi : Funa ungiqhwage amadodakazi akho.

ULabani waphendula, wathi kuJakobe: Amadodakazi angamadodakazi ami, abantwana bangabantwana bami , imihlambi iyimihlambi yami ; konke okubonayo kungokwami ; lawa madodakazi ami ngingawenzela ntoni namuhla, nabantwana bawo abazalileyo, na?

Uma uyakuhlupha amadodakazi ami , noma uthatha abafazi ngaphandle kwamadodakazi ami, akukho muntu onathi; bheka, uNkulunkulu ungufakazi phakathi kwami nawe.

UDina, indodakazi kaLeya amzalela yona uJakobe , waphuma ukuyobona amadodakazi alelo zwe.

siyakuninika amadodakazi ethu, sizithathele amadodakazi enu, sihlale nani, sibe yisizwe sinye.

Labo bantu bahlezi ngokuthula nathi ; ngalokho mabahlale ezweni , balihambe, ngokuba bheka , izwe libanzi inxa zombili phambi kwabo ; asizithathele amadodakazi abo abe ngomkethu, sibaphe amadodakazi ethu.

Ganiselanani nathi , nisiphe amadodakazi enu , nizithathele ama dodakazi ethu.

U-Esawu wazithathela abafazi kuw o amadodakazi aseKhanani : u-Ada indodakazi ka -Eloni umHeti , no-Oholibama indodakazi ka -Ana, indodakazi kaSibeyoni umHivi,

Onke amadodana akhe nawo onke amadodakazi akhe asuka ukuyomduduza, kepha wala ukudud uzwa, wathi: Ngiyakwehla, ngiye endodaneni yami endaweni yabafileyo ngilila. Uyise wamlilela-ke.

Kwathi abantu beqala ukwanda ebusweni bomhlaba, bezala amadodakazi,

amadodana kaNkulunkulu abona amadodakazi abantu ukuthi mahle , azithathela abafazi kuwo awathandayo.

Ngalezo zinsuku kwakukhona iziqhwaga emhlabeni , nangasemuva futhi , lapho amad odana kaNkulunkulu engena kuwo amadodakazi abantu , awazalela abantwana. Lana ayengamadodana asendulo anamandla, anegama lodumo.

Yisho kuyo indlu yakwa -Israyeli, uthi: Isho kanje iNkosi uJehova , ithi: Bheka, ngiyakuyingcolisa indlu yami engcwele, ukuziqhenya kwamandla enu, okunxanelekayo emehlweni enu , okuhawukelwa ngumphefumulo wenu ; amadodakazi enu eniwashiyile ayakuwa ngenkemba.

Amadodakazi alo asendle ayakubulawa ngenkemba , bazi ukuthi nginguJehova.

Uyakubulala amadodakazi akho endle ngenkemba , enze inqaba ngakuwe , akunqwabele iduli, akumisele ihawu.

Lokhu kuyisililo abayakulila ngaso ; amadodakazi ezizwe ayakulilisela ngaso, alilele iGibithe nesixuku salo ngaso, isho iNkosi uJehova.

Bayahlabela eziqongweni zezintaba, bashisa impepho emagqumeni, phansi kwama-oki nemipopula nemitherebinte , ngokuba umthunzi wakho muhle ; kungalokho amadodakazi enu ayafeba, nawomakoti benu bayaphinga.

Angiyikuwajezisa amadodakazi enu, lapho efeba, nawomakoti benu lapho bephinga, ngokuba namadoda achezukela iziphingi , ahlaba kanye nezifebe zethempeli. Kanjalo abantu abangenangqondo bayakuwiswa.
